It sounds like you are defining variables in your /COPY members.  I 
think (and everyone is welcome to disagree) that generally /COPY members 
are the wrong place to define variables.  /COPY members should usually 
only define function prototypes, /define'ed macros, and structures.  I 
don't know that RPG will let you define a structure without also 
defining a variable, however.
